Cheyenne Frontier Days™ is commonly referred to as the “Daddy of ‘em All”®—the world’s largest outdoor rodeo. The phrase was coined in 1919 when Cheyenne had gained worldwide recognition for having the biggest and best rodeo. Some folks credit T. Joe Cahill, who served as a committeeman that year, for the nickname. But, no matter who christened Cheyenne’s rodeo with the name, one thing is certain; each year since, CFD has lived up to its reputation. The “Daddy of ‘em All” continues as a leader in rodeo action. It remains the favorite rodeo for most PRCA contestants and rodeo fans alike. Rodeo cowboys are known to proudly display their winning belt buckles as status symbols. A recent study of rodeo points out that contestants who have competed at Cheyenne prefer to sport their CFD championship buckles even more so than a world champion buckle. Importance of Volunteers For more than 100 years the citizens of Cheyenne have banded together in this annual community project. CFD has a minimal staff with the rest of the work being done by over 2,300 volunteers. Because of this effort, and numerous other community-oriented volunteer projects, Cheyenne has been dubbed “the volunteer capital of the world.” • In 2013, total ticketed attendance for rodeos, concerts and other Frontier Park events was over 250,000. Over 25,500 people attended the free pancake breakfasts, 45,000 visited the Indian Village, and 5,000 went on the behind-the-scenes chute tour. • As it did last year, CFD expects to serve about 100,000 flapjacks to nearly 30,000 during its free pancake breakfasts served downtown. • Visitors spent nearly $25 million in Laramie County during CFD, including $4.8 million at restaurants and bars, $2.7 million on accommodations, $6.5 million on entertainment and recreation, and $10.6 million on shopping, gas and other retail purchases. CFD also creates over 300 full and part-time jobs. 118th Annual “Daddy of ‘em All” Large Outdoor Rodeo Committee of the Year World’s Largest Outdoor Rodeo 12:15 p.m. daily, July 19- 27 Grandstands open at 11:30 a.m. Cheyenne was voted “Large Outdoor Rodeo Committee of the Year” by the PRCA for 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. The award was voted on by the top 100 contestants in each PRCA event, stock contractors and PRCA contract personnel. Future Dates July 17-26, 2015 Economic Impact CFD was organized over 118 years ago to economically benefit the City of Cheyenne and we continue to stay focused on delivering our mission to be a positive economic resource in our community. CFD draws cowboys and rodeo and music fans from throughout the country for a spirited, ten-day celebration of Western heritage. CFD serves as an important boost to Cheyenne’s economy, bringing hundreds of thousands of visitors who pump a significant amount of money into the local community. updated 07/10/2014 1 118th Cheyenne Frontier Days™ CHEYENNE About the Wyoming State Capital Cheyenne was founded on the banks of Crow Creek in July 1867. The town, named by Army General Grenville Dodge after the Indians who inhabited the area, took on many nicknames over the years. Cheyenne originally was referred to as “Hell on Wheels” because the first businesses to arrive at the new railhead were ones that traveled along with the Union Pacific as it broke ground westward across the Great Plains. These businesses were set up in tents with false store fronts. Most were drinking and gambling establishments catering to the rough and tumble life of transient cowboys, local ranch hands and soldiers at nearby Fort D.A. Russell. Within 15 years Cheyenne became known as the “Magic City of the Plains” and gained status as the “richest city of its size in the world.” Wealthy cattle barons from the East and abroad invested in the booming cattle industry and built huge, elaborate mansions in Cheyenne. Many of these historic landmarks are still standing today, including the historic Governor’s Mansion which is open to the public year-round. Today, Cheyenne’s economic base is supported mostly by government, wholesale and retail trade, and tourism. Cheyenne still serves as a major crossroad in the West for the Union Pacific and the Burlington Northern Railroads, as well as Interstates 80 and 25. Most recently, Cheyenne has gained international and national recognition with the location of the NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center and the Microsoft data center.

If you wish to cover a night show, please submit a request to do so in writing to the PR Committee no less than 15 days before the show date. Any media that does not request a night show/concert media pass in advance may not be able to take photos, video or review the show. When the request is submitted please include information on what you intend to do (i.e. take photographs, take video, or review the show). The PR Committee will have a list for who is approved, the artists’ restrictions and any added requirements (often the first two or three songs only) one or two days prior to the show. In addition, if you wish to conduct an interview with the artists we can provide you with the contact information for the artist and you can contact them directly. The PR Committee will not be able to set up interviews for you. Dress Requirements PRCA clothing regulations state all media personnel and photographers must wear a long-sleeve western style shirt, long pants, boots and western hat while present in the photo pit, arena, chute area and in the cowboy ready area. The rodeo is highly photographed for both television and print media; the clothing requirement ensures the western flavor of the event and the safety of working media in and around the arena. If the requirement presents a problem, please contact the PR Media Office. We have extra hats and western shirts available to borrow. Behind the Chutes updated 07/10/2014 7 • Approximately 1,800 contestants will compete for a total purse of expected cash and prizes expected to reach $1 million, the largest purse award in regular season pro rodeo. • The Rookie Saddle Bronc event was originally called the “Amateur Bucking Contest.” The name was changed for the 1974 performance. • CFD continued the tradition of signaling “8 seconds” with a gunshot until the 1994 rodeo performance, when it was replaced by a buzzer. • Frontier Park became the home of CFD in time for the 1908 celebration. The cost for the structures totaled $20,000, and the total seating capacity for the rodeo was 7,700. • This is world’s largest outdoor rodeo arena. The arena is over 700 feet long and 200 feet wide!

Media Deck During the rodeo, media can watch from a shaded box located in the east stand. PR volunteers are available to answer questions and help obtain interviews with contestants. Be sure to secure your seat early as this area fills up. Photo Pit The photo pit is an excellent vantage point to capture action shots of arena events. It is in the middle of the arena and allows photographers to capture contestants launching out of the chutes. It is also the best place to get photos of steer wrestling. You need a pass to get in this area. Getting Interviews Chutes The chutes are restricted areas that require a pass. The chutes on the north end of the arena tend to be less crowded than the southern chutes, which include sponsors.

Cowboy Ready Area Underneath the east stand near the north chute, rodeo contestants are getting ready for their rides. PR volunteers are available to help you find an interview and escort you into the area for photos/b-roll.

Our prize money again this year exceeds $1 million, making it one of the largest purses in professional rodeo. Cinch Rodeo Shootout Presented by Anadarko Friday, July 18 at 12:15 p.m. 8 Champions - 5 Events - One afternoon Cost: $18 or $30 during the main rodeo performances though. Slack is free – be sure to check your “Schedule of Events” to see when slack will occur. The Cinch Rodeo Shootout hosted by CFD showcases the eight most prestigious North American rodeos and each of their best athletes.This one-day invitational style tournament of champions pits the top cowboys and cowgirls in the world against each other in five events: Bull Riding, Barrel Racing, Saddle Bronc Riding, Bareback Bronc Riding and Steer Wrestling. Up for grabs is over $70,000 in prize money. The tournament moves forward with two rounds: the initial 8 competitors, followed by a championship round of 4. By the end of the afternoon, one champion will be crowned for each event. At CFD, these timed event cattle are quite unique. First, prior to CFD, they have never been in a rodeo before – they are “fresh.” Second, these animals are much larger than is typical at other rodeos. Here the calves will be in excess of 300 pounds, and the steers over 600 pounds. Third, these cattle are given a 30 foot head start in competition. This “score” is 3 to 4 times longer than most other rodeos and leads to the uniqueness of competition at the Daddy of ‘Em All. The best part… YOU decide the championship pairings. Those at the show will have access to our text message voting system. You’ll be able to decide which cowboys ride which bulls, and much more. This has never been done before in the sport of rodeo. The first 3,000 ticket buyers will receive a free t-shirt to commemorate the first ever Cinch Rodeo Shootout at CFD.The fate of our competitors – and the prize money – rests in the hands of the fans. Barrel racers enter from the north end of the arena and complete a cloverleaf pattern of 3 barrels. Fastest time wins.

Forty contestants in performance. Contestants not up in performances will compete first and second go rounds in slack on July 16-18, 2014. Timed Events Slack A cowboy backs his horse into the box at Chute 9 and nods his head. The calf is given the 30 foot head start and then the horse and cowboy give chase at speeds over 30 miles per hour. The objective is for the cowboy to rope the calf, dismount, run down to the calf, flank the calf, and tie three legs with his short rope called a piggin’ string – all in about 10-12 seconds to be in the money! For all these events – Fastest time wins! Check schedule, in the mornings Cost is free. Chute 9 is where “slack” is held in the mornings. This is for cowboys who are unable to be scheduled for the main rodeo performances because of the sheer number of contestants at CFD. These times are equally as important as those updated 07/10/2014 12 118th Cheyenne Frontier Days™ CFD RODEO Steer Roping his job is to rope a steer around the horns or head after the 30 foot head start, and turn the steer so his partner, called the heeler can rope the two hind feet.

Cheyenne Frontier Days has previously received the PRCA Large Outdoor Rodeo Of The Year award in 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013. Steer Wrestling Monday, July 21, 2014, 7 a.m. Tuesday, July 22, 2014, 7 a.m. Thursday, July 24, 2014, 7 a.m. Friday, July 25, 2014, 7 a.m. Cheyenne’s world-class rodeo is truly the Daddy of ‘em All. Known for its fast pace and large number of contestants, the CFD rodeo ensures that visitors see more rodeo action – two sections of bulls, and two sections of saddle and bareback broncs daily – than they can see at any other rodeo. Every rodeo event is performed in each of the nine daily performances, so any day at Cheyenne Frontier Days is a good day to see an exciting, action-packed rodeo. Two go rounds; back to back, slack to slack, performance to performance. First go round slack split evenly between two slacks Monday, July 21, and Thursday, July 24. Contestants up in first go slack Monday, July 21 will run second go in slack Tuesday, July 22. Contestants up in first go slack Thursday, July 24 will run second go in slack Friday, July 25. The rodeo consists of track acts in a fast-paced display of athletics, heroics and good-natured fun. Ultimately, the rodeo is about the people who make it great: the contestants, the announcers, the barrelman, and last but not least, the bullfighters. After backing his horse into the box, nodding his head and giving chase to a steer at speeds of over 30 miles per hour, the cowboy slides off of his saddle down on the running steer with arms around the horns of the steers. Using his feet, the cowboy slows the steer, changes direction of the steer by twisting his head and grabbing his nose and then lays the steer to the ground. In this event, the cowboy has a helper, called a hazer, who assists in keeping the steer running straight. Timed Events The PRCA rodeo also spotlights barrel racing, tie-down roping, steer roping, steer wrestling and team roping. Bull Riding Perhaps the most dangerous event in rodeo, bull riders place their hand in a bull rope around the bull and attempt to ride for 8 seconds. These bulls are mostly a cross of Brahma (for speed, agility and quickness) and a beef breed such as Angus for size, power and muscle. Top notch breeding programs are in place with sire registries and artificial insemination being used by stock contractors. The horns on bulls (if not polled) are tipped for safety of the bulls while in the pens and during transport on the road, as well as for the cowboys.

The only event with two contestants competing at the same time. One is the header – updated 07/10/2014 How is the ride scored if the cowboy makes the 8 second whistle? Two Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association 13 118th Cheyenne Frontier Days™ CFD RODEO judges each score the bull on a scale of 1 to 25 and the cowboy on the same scale. Then the two judges’ scores are tallied for the final score with a maximum of 100 points. (NOTE: Only 1 recorded 100 point ride in PRCA history: Wade Leslie, a bullrider who rode Wolfman Skoal in 1991). NOTE: only 2 sections of bull riding at each rodeo this year – start and end only. the horse when the front feet hit the ground and then back at the back of the saddle when the back feet hit the ground. The judges look for this rhythm of spurring from the cowboy and the bucking ability of the horse for high scores. Championship Bull Riding (CBR) Bareback Riding Monday, July 21 & Tuesday, July 22 8 p.m. Cost $29 $39 In this event, the cowboy uses a “riggin” that is essentially a leather strap with a handhold on it around the belly of the horse. The cowboy wedges his hand in this handhold. When the cowboy is ready, he nods his head and the chute gate opens. The horse exits with a quarter turn. The cowboy’s feet have to be above the points of the horses shoulders on the first jump out of the chute or the cowboy is disqualified (“missed him out”). The cowboy spurs in rhythm with the horse as his feet will be forward on the neck of the horse when the front feet hit the ground and then back at the withers when the back feet hit the ground. The judges look for this rhythm of spurring from the cowboy and the bucking ability of the horse for high scores. Championship Bull Riding (CBR) will be returning to CFD to crown the 2014 World Champion. This is the culmination of the year-long 2014 Road to Cheyenne Tour where bull riders have accumulated points towards the world title. Up for grabs is one of the most prestigious titles in bull riding and a $100,000 bonus. The 2014 CBR World Championship is also the final event for the Million Dollar Bull Team Challenge where bulls are competing for prize money. Last year’s bull team winners, B & M Bucking Bulls took home a check for $92,000. At the end of Tuesday night’s competition nearly onehalf million dollars will be paid to bull riders and bull team owners making it one of the richest competitions in bull riding. The entire 2014 Road to Cheyenne Tour is televised in prime time for 26 weeks on FOX Sports Networks, with the 2014 CBR World Championship featured as the final two telecasts in the popular series. Saddle Bronc Riding For rodeo’s classic event, the cowboy uses a modified saddle (does not have saddle horn) cinched around the horse. The cowboy hangs on to a hack rein (like a halter rope). Just like bareback riding, the cowboy nods his head when ready, the chute gate opens, and the cowboy’s feet have to be above the points of the horse’s shoulders on the first jump out of the chute. The cowboy spurs in rhythm with the horse as his feet will be forward on the shoulders of Championship Bull Riding updated 07/10/2014 Cowboy Ready Area 14 118th Cheyenne Frontier Days™ CFD EVENTS CFD offers many events beyond the rodeo including a world famous night show lineup, free pancakes, a carnival and parade. Frontier Nights™ Night time entertainment naturally followed the rodeo performances in Cheyenne, but it became an official part of Frontier Days on the eve of the Great Depression. In 1929, the committee built a small version of old-time Cheyenne on the grounds at Frontier Park complete with false-front saloons and theaters to depict the rowdy days of yesteryear. Soon, a carnival was added to the park’s attractions. Downtown, square dancing on a designated street intersection along with dance performances by the Sioux Indians lured people out for the July evenings. Night Shows Sunday, July 20 Gary Allan with special guest Chancey Williams and the Younger Brothers Band During the big band era of the 1940s and 50s, top-name bands provided music and dancing at Frontier Park. In the late 50s, a 10-cent fee was charged for each dance. The “dime-a-dance” feature was a Frontier Days favorite of Cheyennites who danced at the Pavilion, which now houses the CFD Headquarters and CFD Old West Museum. The first night arena show was staged in front of the grandstands in 1951. Television’s Fred McMurray held the audience spellbound that first year along with Lawrence Welk and his orchestra just prior to landing their famous television show. The early night arena entertainment ranged from clown and dog acts to chariot races, fancy and trick riding, and drum and bugle corps performances. Other Hollywood stars that followed in the 1960s included Michael Landon as “Little Joe” of TV’s Bonanza and Robert Conrad of The Wild Wild West. In the early ‘70s, the current “B” stands replaced the old stands, and in 1977 Frontier Days was extended to 10 days. Now, Cheyenne is equipped to book top country and western entertainment as well as rock acts. The night arena shows that year featured Johnny Cash, Mel Tillis, Barbara Mandrell, Jimmy Dean, and Jerry Jeff Walker.

And so, the CFD Challenge Rodeo became a reality for the 100th annual “Daddy of ‘em All”. Each of the 60 Challenge Rodeo children are paired up with a specially selected volunteer “buddy.” These all-day volunteer chaperones are chosen according to their knowledge, medical training, and expertise in working with children who face mental and physical challenges. The children share one-on-one attention with their buddy and a rodeo V.I.P. while participating in modified rodeo events.

In 1898, just after the second annual Frontier Days rodeo, the CFD committee invited American Indian performers to participate in the CFD celebration. American Indian performers have returned to CFD each year since, entertaining and educating visitors about American Indian heritage and culture. Historically, the visiting performers camped on a corner of Frontier Park, and that became a tourist mecca. Over the years, the site of the campground shifted from place to place. In the 1960s, the CFD committee established a permanent campground, dubbed the “Indian Village,” on the southeast corner of the park, where it remains to this day. In addition to hosting authentic American Indian dancing, music playing and storytelling, the Indian Village also includes a number of Native American exhibit booths and food vendors. Parades Cost: FREE Saturday, July 19; Tuesday, July 22; Thursday, July 24; Saturday, July 26 Time: 9 a.m. Until 1925 (with the exception of the spectacular parade staged in 1898 for Buffalo Bill and one in 1910 for President Theodore Roosevelt) the Frontier Days parades were nothing more than wild gallops through the streets of Cheyenne by a bunch of unruly cowboys on wild broncos. Pistols were aimed at upper story windows, pretty girls were lassoed, and pandemonium reigned. That year, the Frontier Committee enlisted Fred and Margaret Boice to stage a pageant using the theme of “The Evolution of Transportation.” In 1926, Dazee Bristol was asked to create some floats for the parade that would last. The ones she created are still highlights of current parades. They include Dazee’s Dance Hall, Harry P. Hynds Blacksmith Shop, the Placer Mine (depicting South Pass City, Wyoming) and the Silver Crown Mine (which pokes fun at some early residents who invested in a mining scam). In the 1930s and 40s, Dazee added the Vigilante Float, the Hells Half Acre Saloon Float and the One-Room School House.Join us in Cheyenne as people from all over the world take in the sights and sounds of some of the top marching bands and horse-drawn vehicles in the country! The parade starts in front of the Wyoming Capitol.

The weekly record was broken that same year when 39,111 people enjoyed a free breakfast and Cheyenne western hospitality. Just for the record, the almost 40,000 were fed in a combined serving time of eight hours, ten minutes. This year, the volunteers will serve up more than 100,000 flapjacks made from 5,000 pounds of pancake mix, cook-up 3,000 pounds of ham, serve 9,200 cartons of milk and 520 gallons of coffee, along with 630 pounds of butter and 475 gallons of syrup! Started by the Cheyenne Frontier Committee in 1952, the traditional free breakfast (originally served twice a week) has since been a favorite of locals and visitors alike. The Cheyenne Kiwanis Club, with the help of the Cheyenne Boys and Girl Scouts, cook up the grub on military ranges. For the Kiwanis, the CFD breakfast is not only a great time, but a chance to practice as well.

Through the years other groups of individuals, businesses, and associations in Cheyenne have been bitten by the bug of volunteerism and joined in to enhance the annual celebration and become a part of it all. Following the example set by CFD volunteers a long time ago, these individuals spend a great amount of time and energy preparing for their contribution to the show each year. In the 1960s, a few downtown businessmen were known to assume the status of a vigilante committee aimed at men in golf shorts and boat shoes. The makeshift lawmakers took matters into their own hands by tossing the nonconformists in the lake at Holliday Park—only to give themselves an excuse to donate articles of western attire to poor wet souls who dared not to dress accordingly during CFD. Cheyenne Gunslingers During Cheyenne Frontier Days, performances are: Monday - Saturday at high noon and 6 p.m. and Sundays at high noon. In 1983 a local downtown art gallery owner, Ron Levene, sat drinking coffee with a few other 16th Street business owners discussing the western-ness of Cheyenne. It seems they all shared the same blank expressions when summer visitors and tourists came into their shops and asked, “So, where’s all the cowboys and Indians?” CFD certainly provided the old western frontier atmosphere, but only for 10 days in July. These fellas decided to give ‘em what they asked for. Armed with a sizeable donation from the head office of the LaQuinta Inn hotel chain in San Antonio, Texas, these businessmen started the Cheyenne Gunslingers. They got off to a slow start that first season. The volunteers didn’t anticipate the costs involved with staging the gunfights. But, within a few years the association had grown into a first-rate tourist attraction not only during CFD, but for the whole summer. The men furnish their own guns and costumes, and together, they write the scripts that are staged twice daily at Gunslinger Square, 16th Street and Carey Avenue. In addition to the fun-filled skits, the Cheyenne Gunslingers also have a more serious side. They show the audience the importance of gun safety, and much of the information is aimed effectively at the youth in the crowd. The “shoot ‘em up” show is free to the public.

The Cheyenne Little Theatre Players added to the night time entertainment of CFD in 1958 by staging an Old Fashioned Melodrama performance at the Frontier Park updated 07/10/2014 21 118th Cheyenne Frontier Days™ OTHER EVENTS Pavilion. The show was a hit, and the performers have carried on their volunteer tradition ever since. In 1966, they were moved to the abandoned and dilapidated Atlas Theatre downtown. The Atlas Theatre building was erected in 1887. Originally, it housed a confectionery shop on the main level with office spaces on the upper floors. The building was remodeled in 1907 with the assistance of local architect William Dubois. The upper floors were converted into rooms for rent with the main level reserved for the elegant Atlas Theatre, a soda fountain, and a large penny arcade—Wyoming’s first. Today, the Atlas Theatre seats 260 guests per performance. Much of the interior has been restored to its original state. The original fire curtain installed in 1908 still hangs from the ceiling above the stage. The Cheyenne Little Theatre Players have entertained thousands of visitors during CFD with sellout shows that bring about rounds of “boos” and “hisses” for the villain, “cheers” for the hero, and “ah-h’s” for the heroine. The melodrama is a three-act play that focuses on some part of Wyoming’s western heritage. It is often written by local talent and includes a variety of crowd-pleasing olio acts, cancan dances, and fun for the whole family. Warren AFB. Parking along the street.

Sara, her parents and her two brothers, Paul and Kurt, have lived in Cheyenne for 19 years. In August of 2011 the family grew with the birth of her nephew, Trigger. Her love for Frontier Days grew from when she started riding in the Cheyenne Frontier Days Parades at the age of five. She began riding horses at a young age and became a member of the CFD Dandies team from 2008-2011. She served as a Dandies leader her senior year. “I remember watching the Dandies from the first moment I went to a CFD rodeo. I knew I had to get involved. Dandies gave me the amazing opportunity to become more involved with the rodeo that had already held a special place in my heart. I learned so much about myself and CFD,” Sara says, “I could never replace the skills I gained through being a Dandy.” 2014 Dandies Michelle Hess, Director Rylee Anderson Bailey Bishop Emily Breeden Roslan Fichtner Caitlyn Garcia Maria Grogan Lauren Hastings Alex Heimsoth Sara graduated from Cheyenne Central High School in 2011. She was involved with National Honor Society, Junior Leadership Cheyenne, the Congressional Award, and was a member of the track and the State Drama team. Sara is able to relate with different types of people because of her involvement in these various activities. Sara is now a junior at the University of Wyoming, studying sociology with a minor in criminal justice. She hopes to continue her schooling to eventually become a victim’s advocate for children. She is active in her sorority, Kappa Kappa Gamma, and loves the support of her fellow sorority sisters. “To be updated 07/10/2014 29 Cassandra Heller Jean Hess Halley Jankovsky Hanna Jankovsky Holly Riesland Addysen Rosner Cianna Schofield Danette Vliem 118th Cheyenne Frontier Days™ CFD VOLUNTEERS & STRUCTURE 2013 Volunteers of the Year Concessions Contestants Contract Acts Grounds Indians Military Parades Public Relations Security Tickets W-Heels The W-Heels is a group of volunteer women who work with the Parades Committee in producing the horse-drawn vehicle section of the four CFD parades each year.

Dave Pickard Ray Hron Kent Davis Mike DeCarlo Rachelle Zimmerman Jill Emmons Ken Willis Tim Ellis Annette Newnum Wendy Stoffer CFD Scholarships The CFD Scholarship Foundation has awarded $64,900 in 58 scholarships for the 2014-2015 school year. Scholarship recipients are: Jonna Brown and Jacob Zumo, University of Wyoming partnership scholarship, Cindy Young, Milt Nation Scholarship and, Tyriecha Camble, Chuckwagon Gourmet Scholarship. Buckle Club The Buckle Club is comprised of past and present committee chairpersons and their spouses. This group was organized in 1979 and utilizes the talent and experience of seasoned volunteers to assist with various functions of CFD. Members have been instrumental in producing the Exceptional Rodeo in past years and continue with the Challenge Rodeo, which is Cheyenne’s independent version of the special children’s rodeo. Members also operate a hospitality room dubbed the “Buckle Club” in the Exhibition Hall on the grounds. The club serves sandwiches, soft drinks and beer to volunteers and provides them a place where they can retreat to after their shifts. Other scholarships were granted to: Jordyn Anderson, Amy Berry, Alyssa Beaver, Cole Bostron, Graclyn Brown, Brandon Butt, Shayne Carter, Kevin Cox, Grayson Fleming, Kylie Foster, Eric Andrew Gerhart, Sebastien Goetz, Jordan Hardsocg, Jordan Hirsig, Liberty Hoover, Annaliese Jacobson, Kirsten Jacobson, Kelsey James, Megan Johnston, Brandi Jones, Hayden Jones, Hunter Jones, Lyndsay Jones, Cody King, Deacon Maggard, Dixon Maggard, Coy Malcolm, Kenna Malcom, Kaci Malmborg, Megan Marker, Hayley Martin, Jessica McLane, Carsen Mowry, Stacia Olson, Haleigh Pickett, Tyler Pope, Heather Prince, Sara Rangitsch, Brandon Romsa, Douglas Sandidge, Rachel Shutter, Brittany Singhas, Heather Skirvin, Cassidy Smith, Amber Sullivan, Daniek Taylor, Jessica Truel-Young, Jason Wales, Brennan Westby, Nicole Whitley, Eric Williams and McKenzie Yarter. HEELS The idea of the “HEELS” emerged in 1934 as a result of financial difficulties brought on by the Great Depression. Because the pocket linings of CFD were pulled inside out and drooping, a group of volunteers put their heads together and brainstormed over how to remedy the show’s tough financial situation. They tossed around the idea of replacing paid arena help with volunteers of the committee, and the HEELS organization was born. It is said that volunteer Ed Storey commented during that casual meeting that they’d be a bunch of heels if they didn’t help out, and the name stuck. CFD Scholarships totaling $920,675 have been awarded to 1171 recipients since 1985. The scholarships are made possible by the Ram Truck raffle, Chuckwagon Gourmet, CFD Committee events and individual donations. Foundation board members are Mike Lane, Rod Hottle, Jim Hearne, Phil VanHorn, Jim Johnson, Tim Allen, Laura Jeffrey and Darin Westby. Today, the HEELS are comprised of 430 volunteers who have been recognized for their exceptional service to CFD. Each year new members are nominated and voted into the select group based on their contribution of volunteerism to the show. Each HEEL is entitled to wear a specially designed badge and belt buckle to distinguish the honor. updated 07/10/2014 30 118th Cheyenne Frontier Days™ SPONSORS CFD would not be possible without the involvement of our sponsors.

BP employs around 20,000 people in the U.S. and our economic activity supports over 240,000 additional jobs.

Just about anywhere else, the reply would most likely reference the highly elusive (and according to some folks, mythical) creature known as the jackalope. But ask most anyone here in the heart of Cowboy Country 31 118th Cheyenne Frontier Days™ SPONSORS about the unlikely hybrid, and they’re just as liable to answer “Why, Yolo, the WyoLotto jackpotalope, of course!” Gold Boot Sponsors The brightly colored Yolo bounded onto the public stage at a public brand unveiling for the Wyoming Lottery held last January. Featured prominently on the Wyoming Lottery’s logo and marketing materials, the jackpotalope symbolizes the fun factor inherent in playing the lottery. Once Wyoming’s fledging lottery is up and running later this summer, more than 400 retail locations throughout the state will feature ticket kiosks, posters and other displays featuring the fanciful creature. We outfit the west. We live where you celebrate the events you treasure most. We honor the events you treasure most. We honor your hard work, integrity and community – and strive to provide quality gear for you and your family. For more than thirty years, we’ve partnered with Wrangler, Carhartt, Ariat, Justin, Resistol and more to bring you the best service, the largest selection and the lowest prices, guaranteed. When Powerball® and Mega Millions® tickets go on sale in Wyoming, Wyoming residents and visitors are going to have a whole new and exciting reason to enjoy the Cowboy State. Powerball jackpots create more than 500 millionaires each year, and jackpots frequently reach six-figure amounts (the jackpot reached a whopping $448,400,000.00 last August!). It won’t be long before Wyoming starts adding its own names to the growing list of Powerball winners who dared to dream and saw their dream come true. The other game coming to the Wyoming Lottery, Mega Millions, offers players a chance to win jackpots that start at $15 million. With nine exciting ways to win in the game, each $1.00 play offers up tons of low-cost fun and entertainment. But, while it costs little to play, the payoff for the state is going to be huge. Lottery officials expect the Wyoming Lottery to gross nearly $13 million annually, with a net of about $6 million a year after expenses and prizes. The legislation calls for the first $6 million of proceeds to be distributed to local governments, with any excess going into a school fund. Meanwhile, anticipation among future WyoLotto players is building, retail ticket sales equipment is being installed statewide and the lottery staff is busy making final preparations for rolling out the biggest single form of entertainment to take the Wyoming stage since the “Daddy of ‘em All”® made its debut 117 years ago. By the way, the roving, larger-than-life jackpotalope is rumored to frequent public events, so there’s a chance you might just chalk up a jackpotalope sighting -- or maybe even a personal encounter -- during Cheyenne Frontier Days. If rubbing a regular rabbit’s foot brings luck, just imagine the good fortune that could come your way following a rendezvous with WyoLotto’s Yolo. Stop by and see for yourself.

Driving to Washington D.C. on a family vacation, Wilson grew frustrated at the lack of quality he found in roadside motels. Dingy courts and dusty motor hotels may have been satisfactory when Americans first set out on the road but Wilson was sure that the interstate-age would call for new kinds of amenities: air conditioning, restaurants, in-room telephones, and - most of all - standardization. Within a year, Wilson commissioned blueprints from his hand-drawn diagrams. The designer, Eddie Bluestein, wrote “Holiday Inn” across the bottom of the plans after seeing a Bing Crosby film. The name stuck. The first Inn, built on Summer Avenue in Memphis, Tennessee, was so successful that Wilson followed up with identical ones on three other roads leading into Memphis.

Barrelman and Bullfighters Darrell Diefenbach From: Azle, Texas Education: Maryborough T.A.F.E. (Australia) Employment: Builder Outfit: Red shirt, red and blue bandannas, black hat, black, white and red makeup Rodeo History: PRCA since 1998 Achievements: (see cfdrodeo.com) Bullfighters may appear to do a lot of “clowning around,” but their role is of utmost importance to the contestants. Their job is to help prevent the contestants from sustaining injuries by the bulls. In many cases, these bullfighters have been responsible for saving a contestant’s life. For this reason, they must be in peak physical condition and mentally alert for their “dances with bulls.” Most bullfighters and clowns wear good athletic shoes or cleats as part of their costume. The costumes are generally quite colorful and loose fitting to divert the bull’s attention from the contestant after the ride. Occasionally, a contestant’s hand may become “hung up” in the rope when he is bucked off. When this happens, the bullfighters are right there risking their own safety to free the cowboy’s hand from atop the bucking bull’s back. One bullfighter distracts the bull while another tries to free the cowboy’s hand. At Cheyenne, two bullfighters work together in the arena to assist the contestants during the bull riding events. Arena Director Frank Thompson The arena director is responsible for the activities in the arena. He ensures that PRCA rules are followed and provides the safest environment possible for anyone who enters the arena. During the rodeo he coordinates the roping events that take place at Chute 9 on the south end of the arena with the rough stock events that come out of the bucking chutes. Frank acts as a troubleshooter and takes action to solve problems that arise in the arena. He also starts the wild horse race and decides which direction around the track the horses will travel.

All six of the girls who entered were sponsored by a civic organization. Each girl was judged based on the number of tickets sold be her sponsoring organization. Miss Jean Nimmo Dubois had the honor of becoming the first Miss Frontier when the Cheyenne Post of the American legion sold the most tickets to the show. Edith Gogerty Stevens won the honor in 1932 by a popularity vote determined by the number of tickets sold at the Frontier Pavilion. In 1933, another contest sponsored by the Tribune-Eagle selected Maysie McKay Christensen as the third Miss Frontier. The year 1934 saw the CFD committee selected Lois Crain Moor as Miss Frontier and Leona Burner Gillen as her Lady-in-Waiting, starting a tradition that follows to this day. During the reign of Mary Helen Warren Welborn in 1936, Miss Frontier acquired he traditional garb of the “White Bucks.” Mary Helen had seen Sally Rand, the fan dancer who appeared at CFD wearing an outfit of leather, consisting of a divided skirt and vest trimmed in fringe and silver conches. Mary Helen thought the outfit was most appealing and so the familiar official clothing of Miss Frontier came into being work with a satin blouse. The role of Miss Frontier has evolved through the years. Today, as well as appearing at all of the events of the show, she is a visible representative of CFD appearing at other rodeos, press conferences and special events to promote and annual event born of an idea to create a celebration for Cheyenne. 1931 Jean Nimmo 1932 1933 1934 1935 1936 Edith Gogerty Maysie Mackay Lois Crain Leona Bruner Mary Helen Warren Katherine Schroeder Helen McCarty Louise Holmes Bette McIver Mary Anna Klett Teddy Ann Storey Mary Ellen Jensen 1937 1938 1939 1940 1941 1942 1943 updated 07/10/2014 1944 1945 1946 1947 1948 1949 1950 1951 1952 1953 1954 1955 1956 1957 1958 1959 1960 1961 1962 1963 1964 1965 1966 1967 1968 1969 1970 1971 1972 1973 1974 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 Barbara Ann Benton Orlene “Sis” Merritt Lois Hofmann Ann Dinneen Susan Murray Norma Jean Bell Joy Vandehei Laura Bailey Jane Henderson Carol Rees Margy Hirsig Nancy Black Marilyn Ryan Lynne Mabee 51 Jeanette Tyrrell Merrilyn Farthing Judy Read Mary Caldwell April Belecky Suzanne Hanes Susan Dubois Sharon Kay Hanson Kathleen Keefe Carolyn Holmes Dianne Spear Marie Nimmo Carol Powers Patty Berry Julie Robinson Mary Boice Beth Murray Teresa Jordan Cynthia Lummis Nancy Borthwick Deidre Kilty Shirley Holmes Shelly Howe Rita Holmes Tricia Pattno DeDe Schuppan Tamra Dereemer Libby Crews Marcy Morris Michele Albert 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 Shannon Humphrey Tammy Powers Trish Moore Niffy McNiff Kimm Acton Shelly Hayes Tricia Weppner Stacy Bishop Kristen Dolan Jamie Fox Kellie Sharp Tristan Johnson Paige Vossler Kristy Barr Britt Holmes Heather Sanchez Tara Vreeland Joanne Brewster Julianna Edwards Katie Mae Landers Kari Ward Kim Kuhn Rachel Shutter Amy Berry Sami Jo Heitsch Cloe Pfoor Kaci Malmberg 118th Cheyenne Frontier Days™ CFD RECORDS CFD Concert Entertainers Continued CFD Concert Entertainers 1977 - 2013 1977 1978 1979 1980 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 Jerry Jeff Walker with Red Steagall, Johnny Cash Show, Barbara Mandrell Jimmy Dean, Mel Tillis Larry Gatlin with Gunshy, Charley Pride, Johnny Paycheck, Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers Charlie Daniels Band, Don Williams, Donna Fargo, Kenny Rogers, Dottie West,Mel Tillis, Merle Haggard Charlie Daniels Band, Mac Davis, Johnny Cash, Eddie Rabbitt, Dottie West Charlie Daniels Band, Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers, Oak Ridge Boys, Barbara Mandrell, Moe Bandy and Joe Stampley Charlie Daniels Band, Mickey Gilley, Johnny Lee and the Urban Cowboy Band, The Barbara Mandrell Show, Ronnie Milsap, T.G.
